Meaning & History
Said to be taken from Latin fōns stīllāns meaning "dripping well, dripping fountain" (the first element also used in Fuensanta), taken from the Spanish titles of the Virgin Mary, La Virgen de la Fuencisla and Nuestra Señora de la Fuencisla, meaning "The Virgin of Fuencisla" and "Our Lady of Fuencisla."
She is the patron saint of Segovia in the autonomous community of Castile and León in north-western Spain, hence the particularly high concentration in the city and province of the same name.
